When it comes to talking about colon cancer, most people prefer not to.
No one likes to think about colon cancer because of how scary it
can be. Almost everyone knows someone who has suffered with cancer and
possibly even lost their lives to cancer.
Making matters worse is some kinds of cancer are related to areas that
are generally considered taboo to talk about. Let's take colon cancer
for example. No one likes to talk about what happens in the colon and
often people ignore this area of his body until they have no other
choice but to seek help for a problem that has gotten out of hand. When
it comes to colon cancer, this can be too late.
Here are some facts that you need to know before you think you will just ignore anything that could be colon cancer symptoms.
This year alone there will be about 140,000 new cases of cancer in the
colon in the US alone. Sadly there will also be some 56,000
people who will die from bowel cancer this year. This in itself should
be reason to key you in that you should be at least educated on colon
cancer symptoms, colon cancer stages or at least know about getting
yourself screened for this disease.
While that last paragraph was a lot of bad news, there is some good
news. If people pay attention to the signs of colon cancer or are
regularly screened for this disease and are diagnosed in the early colon
cancer stages, it is a treatable disease.
